Special Event!
It’s My PARTY! (yours too)
Lida Hood, Lydia Wolfe
Do you like to party? This is the class for you! Each day will be a totally different party.
Day One: PAINTIN’ the Town Red (or green, or blue, or yellow, etc.). Wear your most colorful clothes to class, mix & match them...stripes with polka dots, two different colors of shoes (well, you get the idea)! We’ll have a “paper” canvas set up outside and we’ll paint, paint, paint! We’ll learn how to mix colors and more.
Day Two: MAD SCIENTIST PARTY. “Ooze on over” and see what awaits us! Mix up concoctions in test tubes (these will all be safe!) and see what happens! . . . like juice from a red cabbage will turn amazing colors when you mix it with . . . come & find out. Make slimes and other weird & gross stuff.
Day Three: DINOSAUR PARTY. Go back in time to “Meet” some of them through stories. You’ll get to meet our 7’ tall wooden dinosaur from last year’s art camp! Make “dino feet” out of empty cereal boxes, and cover them with colored funny foam. We’ll put our “new feet” on and walk/stomp across the room holding
a “dinosaur” egg on a spoon and dump the egg
into a nest. This should be hilarious! Please
bring two cereal boxes to class.
SEE YOU AT THE PARTY!

Just Like CHIHULY GLASS
A Family Affair
Brody Shaw, Caitlin Sowers Dale
Chihuly is a famous artist who creates beautiful small objects, large objects and hanging objects out of dazzling colored GLASS. We’ll watch a short video showing his glass artworks that are displayed in internationally known gardens around the world.
Local Johnstown glassblower, Brody Shaw, will join us and talk about how he creates glass objects through all the stages. He will then demonstrate a simple process of how glass is melted using a torch to make glass beads. Each student will be given a finished glass bead. You will then form your own nested “glass” sculpture using color and transparency similar to actual glass, and heating it over a low-temperature heat source (electric skillet). The results are stunning!
Please include $10.00 for materials.
Moms, dads, grandparents are also
invited to attend this session.

HORTON HEARS A WHO . . .
The Movie
Sonya Seitz
On the fifteenth of May, in the Jungle of Noel... That’s how the popular Dr. Seuss story starts out.
But on the twelfth of August, we’ll find out... what is a Who? and where is Who-ville?...
as we listen to the story as it’s read by our own
“Cat in the Hat” person.
We’ll go outside and look for four leaf clovers. Then paint a Jungle of Noel scene using watercolors... add pop-out (and pop-up) paper things and origami animals, including Horton the elephant.
We’ll look at a “Who” under a microscope, and make our own tiny Who’s in the tiny town of Who-ville using “touch-feely” things, glitter, gel markers and more. Bring shoebox to first class.
Make an elephant puppet and edible fried dough “Elephant Ears!”
A person’s a person. No matter how small. And if you do good deeds, you’ll receive a real Horton certificate on the last day of class.
